Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Schulze

79% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $41,454, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Housing insecurity runs 27.3% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. At $1,170 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Detroit commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
